Wooden Spools with Bits of Writing – More Work in Progress/Studio Sneak Peeks

Wooden Spools with Text by Elaine Luther Copyright 2015

Here’s a picture of the wooden spools like the ones I talked about in the last post. I made more. They’re wrapped with copies of fragments of letters from old friends, my grandmother and other relatives.

I used to be quite a letter writer and saved all the letters I got in return.

Some of the spools have bits of recipes on them, copied from recipe cards, hand typed, that I bought at an estate sale years ago. They’re all dated, and range from 1958 to about 1962.

These are all going into sculptures.
